POWERMAN 5000 - The Way It Is Lyrics

Well dont blame be

Cause it's not my world

I didn't make the mess you got



You get what ya give

You give what ya get

And sometimes it's not a lot



From Boston to New York

LA to Tokyo

People always say to me



They all need to stop

Take a look at themselves

And find more than misery

(Yeah!)



That's the way

The way it is

That's the way

The way that we live



Don't back down

Don't ever give in

That's the way that it is



Now take it or leave it

Change it or be it

I know just where it's at



You can run, you can hide

But you never realize

You're living just like a rat



The cops and the killers

Some saints and some sinners

People that you'll never know



They all make a story

For death or for glory

Sometimes you gotta go

(Got ta go!)



That's the way

The way it is

That's the way

The way that we live



Don't back down

Don't ever give in

Thats the way that it is



That's the way

The way it is

That's the way

The way that we live



Don't back down

Don't ever give in

That's the way that it is



(Check this out)

You knowing those streets

Like the back of your hand

But still there ain't a person

That could ever understand

The more that you look

The less that you've found

People everywhere but no one's around

(C'mon)



That's the way

The way it is

That's the way

The way that we live



Don't back down

Don't ever give in

That's the way that it is



That's the way

The way it is

That's the way

The way that we live



Don't back down

Don't ever give in

That's the way that it is



That's the way

That's the way

Don't ever give in



That's the way

That's the way

Don't ever give in



That's the way

Don't back down

That's the way

Don't ever give in
